These engines are over built. Doubt a 30 mile ride with slightly low oil would do any damage.
Honestly I' m a gallon guy. It calls for 4.1 quarts with a filter. I warm it up, remove the drain plug, drain the oil, replace the drain plug, drop the oil filter, let it drain, slap on a new filter and put a gallon of oil in it. I know most people want to get it exactly to the top line, but a few ounces one way or another is not a big deal.
